✳️Before I picked it up for reading, I thought Verity was a romantic thriller. But after looking through a few pages, I realized that it's more erotic than romantic. This book was indeed creepy, I'm not lying, but maybe I didn't enjoy it as much as everyone else due to my higher expectations. It's good, but it's not as great as I thought it would be. In addition, I have seen so many horror thrillers, so because of that this story was almost predictable for me. But the closing line took the book to the next level. That one line changed it all.✳️

✳️But whatever the reason, I don't have enough words to commend the amazing Colleen Hoover for her incredible writing. One of the reasons I've always rated her books more than 3⭐ is because of her writing.✳️

✳️Jeremy Crawford, husband of bestselling author Verity Crawford, has hired Lowen Ashleigh to finish the remaining books in a successful series his injured wife is unable to complete. When Lowen arrives at the Crawfords' home to go through Verity's notes and drafts, she doesn't expect to discover an unfinished autobiography of Verity.✳️

✳️I didn't like Lowen. I found her even creepier than Verity. This was a quick read for me and I think I finished it in a day. Anyway, I recommend this one if you love thrillers. I hope you'll enjoy it more than I did.✳️
